Side Hustles > Second Jobs

50 ways to earn without more work 

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 4.8 million Americans had a primary full-time job as well as a secondary part-time job in 2024, up slightly from 2023. A recent MarketWatch study gives some insight into why Americans are working side hustles. Of those surveyed, 27% work a second job to build their savings while 24% do it to afford the cost of living. 

If you don't have time for a second job but need secondary income, consider one of these side hustles instead. 

Here at The Penny Hoarder, we consider ourselves side-gig-ologists (we're still workshopping that job title). We've looked into just about every way to make money on the side. Our expansive list of 50 ways to make some extra money this month includes everything from tutoring to delivering food to selling used books. You're bound to find something up your alley.
